Challenge with Dinamo/ Skenderbeu's coach wants points at "Elbasan

Skanderbeg's coach, Ivan Gvozdenovic

The coach of Skenderbeu, Ivan Gvozdenovic, in the media conference before the match with Dinamo, commented on the current situation of the Kor?ar team during the last matches, where as a result they had a loss and a draw. According to the coach, there are two formations that he thought of fielding for the match with Dinamo, while he also analyzed the match with Egnatia where they managed to get only 1 point.

"We will host Dinamo at the Elbasan stadium. I'm here week in and week out and I always say that the championship is very strong. Many teams are close with three, four points difference. Every week is very important, we are for points. Dinamo is a good team, there is quality within the team and we will prepare well.

The idea is to start 4/1, 4/1 or 4/3/3, for me we were good even in the first half 4/3/3, we had three chances to score, Egnatia scored a goal because it has the qualities after it started the second half we started with the 3/5/2 formation, but we were good and risked the last 20 minutes with a 3/4/3 formation. Well done to the players for a good reaction from both the bench and the formation.

I can't say that we have lost quality because players like Lika, Uçe, Frenki, Pecani and Juri who help the team a lot. We were missing Prenc as a player in the formation, but we were not bad. Now we are together again, it is a plus for us and we will see. I told him that the team is very important, Uçe started with the lineup and played 45 minutes.

I'm not too happy nor too upset because this was the best from Uche at the moment, but he helped in the first half with his chance. We also gave Frank a chance and he played well, but not only him but also four other players from the bench gave positive energy to the team and we deserved the goal we scored", said the coach of Skënderbeu.

Gvozdenovic says that in Elbasan they will play for points, as it is only a victory that will divide the ranking in the table, because the teams are 3 or 4 points apart.

"Skenderbeu goes to Elbasan for points, the second phase started and I told him that all the teams need the points because the difference is a victory. We all have pressure, but for me it is too much, maybe even we as coaches made mistakes, but we need time and continuity.

It is very difficult to always win with any team. I don't understand why there is this opinion that when we win together and when we lose, the coaches lose and this is not only in Albania but all over the world.

We will continue the work but we will fight. With Egnatia, we wanted them to get the points, but the result was 0-1 and when it ended 1-1, I told him that I was satisfied with one point and it also depends on Dinamo how it will go", said the coach.

Ivan Gvozdenovic is optimistic about Tuesday's match at Elbasan Arena, although due to the qualities of the opposing team, victory remains a bit difficult./ CNA
